The Secrets to Extending the Life of Your WatchFacing the bleak reality of watch care, what can we use to rescue our beloved timepieces? Today, let’s unveil the secrets to prolonging the life of your watch!
Firstly, embrace the “Four Protections”.
– ”Shockproof”: Watches, being intricate devices, can suffer from even a minor component’s damage or misalignment. Avoid “five detachments”: scale, hands, crown, jewels, and crystal falling off due to shocks.
– ”Antimagnetic”: Keep away from magnetic fields such as speakers, refrigerators, and computers. Ladies’ handbag clasps and men’s phone case magnets can magnetize your watch, causing inaccuracies or temporary stops.
– ”Waterproof”: While most watches have some level of water resistance, improper use can lead to moisture inside the watch, potentially rusting the movement. Experts advise against just air drying after water exposure and recommend a thorough cleaning and maintenance to protect the movement.
– ”Scratchproof”: Over time, your once shiny watch may become marred with scratches. To maintain its luster:
1. Don’t store in cluttered drawers.
2. Avoid placing next to sharp objects like cutlery.
3. Regularly polish at a maintenance center.Secondly, intermediate to high-end watches should undergo maintenance every 2-3 years, including replacing waterproof components, performance and power consumption checks, movement cleaning, and aesthetic care, significantly extending the life of your watch.
Secret Two: The Right Maintenance Tools
Lack of proper maintenance tools is a common root of many watch issues. Investing in good tools, like a watch winder, can prevent these problems. Why a watch winder?
Reason One: Mechanical movements are designed to run continuously. A watch winder provides the necessary movement to keep the watch running, ensuring lubricants stay distributed and reducing the need for adjustments after winding.
Reason Two: A winder offers a secure and comfortable environment for storing your watch, minimizing the risk of scratches and falls.
Reason Three: It keeps your watch dust-free and ready to wear, eliminating the dilemma between potentially damaging it with a dry or wet cloth.
Reason Four: Beyond being merely functional, a stylish watch winder also serves as a decorative piece in your home, offering both elegance and convenience.
With the right care philosophy and tools, you can ensure your watches not only survive but thrive through generations. Armed with these insights, you can confidently care for your timepieces, ensuring they remain by your side, and by those of your descendants, for years to come.
